  1. If Republicans had a winning message they wouldn’t have to steal your vote. Your vote is your power, use it wisely.

    1. @The Tweatles <~ homophobic What's your point ? Of course we support their civil rights without forcing religious bigotry on them.

    2. @White Jesus I Read your link,very interesting, to say the least!! The Trumpvirus is being voted out and there is Nothing anyone can do about it! Fraud and repugnant Republicans are hand and hand are cheating every where I look! They should be All in jail !! That’s what I’m Waiting to read about All these Criminals prosecuted. How long does this take? Put them IN JAIL!! The Pathological Liar in Chief can’t win with out cheating. Vote Too Big to Rig and bury the Trumpvirus under all those Blue Ballots. We Can Do This Together! We Have The Power, Together.!!

    3. @Ellen Peba <~ cult member There you go again, spewing religious dogma and stupidity. If you don't want an abortion, don't get one. Nobody is forcing you.

    4. @Ellen Peba
      You are wrong. It seems there are a lot of rogue, racist , fascist cops who think they have a license to murder with impunity.
      You may not understand the meaning of the word racist , but you should since you are one.

    1. @Jeff McGowan
      Tax fraud , bank fraud , insurance fraud , obstruction of Congress , obstruction of justice, money laundering , Emoluments clause violations. Misappropriation of public funds , extortion .
      SDNY is going to be real busy when donnie loses and barr is removed.
      They DID find collusion but the cowardly Republicans in the Senate refused to remove him after he was impeached.

    2. @Wil the pill Orshal lol.. not 1 crime on trump.. the lawless dems got nothing to show for their 4 years of scamming us

    1. IT ANIAT GONNA WORK THIS TIME. UO GOP COWARDS ENABLED THIS MONSTER FOR THE LAST 5 YEAR’S. I VOTE EVERY ELECTION , LOCAL STATE AND NATIONAL. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER REPUBLICAN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

  2. Guess the reps actually think the Democrats, & the majority of the American people, are going to let them screw over the nation.
    Looking forward to the week after November 3rd. I wonder how many repubs will be infected by then? Any bets they’ll try to blame: Hillary, Obama, Santa Claus, ET, the Easter Bunny, or Jyna?🙄🙄🙄🙄

    1. @Alexandros Theodorou
      If the Repuglikkkan Party reps were true patriots.
      Trump and his buddy in Crime Pence could be Impeached and removed before the end of next week!
      But that will Never happen will it?
      Because the Repuglikkkan party would need to get President Putin’s permission FIRST!
      Because the Repuglikkkan party is the party of PUTIN!

    1. Ruth has no fuqing right to say what to do with the seat. Its not her seat . Republicans have the senate, democrats would have done the same. So stop crying low iq snowflake.

    2. @Dosse Daqar Snider Amy has only four years of experience as a judge. Is she really the best person out of all of the judges around the country?

  3. Numbers do not lie!
    Trump’s ‘ Badge of Honor; (American Carnage):
    – Over 214,000 Americans killed, and going. ( Over 7.6 million infected)
    – 0ver 62 million claims for Unemployment benefits
    – Unemployment rate – over 13%
    – Economic collapse
    – Ballooning National Debt(added $ 3.3 trillions + in 2020)
    1. Worst unemployment since the Great Depression ( 31 Million unemployed)
    2. Worst widespread civil unrest since Dr King’s assassination
    3. Worst pandemic since 1918
    4. Over 22,000 lies,and accelerating( Avg. 17 lies daily since inauguration)
    5. Over 5,000 obscenities,swearings,profanities, and vulgarities
    6. Worst ever contraction of economy in HISTORY. GDP down by 32.9% annualized., second Qt 2020
    7. 279 days Golfing at his own commercial properties ( 1 out of every 5 days in office)

    8. A poster-boy for 7 Deadly Sins,and revels in breaking all Ten Commandments.(AKA Evangelical Jesus)
    9. 40 Million families on the verge of Eviction.

    As Sep. 25, more than 29 million Americans were collecting some form of unemployment insurance. That figure was up more than 2 million from the previous week.

    Trump’s Trade War Will Cost Average Family $1,277 This Year, Budget Office Reveals

    1. @Karl Foster actually, 5 years for each count of fraud when SDNY gets through with him. Long enough to put him away for the rest of his life.

    2. And yet, Neck Beard, you vote for more statism, which has killed more people than the Kung Flu ever has.

  4. let it be forever known…the GOP took away your healthcare … while giving away tax breaks to their buddies…

    1. @Bucky Pinata Daddy Donny gives tax rebates to Millionaires and Billionaires while barely doing anything for the middle class and the poor, and the poor conservative claps. Truly… the poor and middle-class conservatives are domesticated dogs of the rich and it’s sad.

    2. @Shaurya Raikkonen I got tax breaks, and I’m middle class. Business got tax breaks and were able to give bonuses and raises and increase hiring. Point? Besides moot….

    3. @Bucky Pinata Rubbish. Businesses did not on the whole increase wages or increase hire. The increase was slipped into the recipient’s piggy bank for the wee piggies. But the real question is this:
      Where is the GOP health care plan after 10 years?
      The answer is: There is no GOP healthcare plan after ten years if kvetching and lying

    1. Plus, why should the senate stop functioning, why should these elected officials stop working? Millions of people are working…why shouldn’t they?

  5. Just because you “tick the boxes” does not mean you get “The Right” to do “whatever you please”.

    Especially, when it hurts REAL PEOPLE.

    1. Psalm 23

      Btw, plastic plants are TOILET!

      Use real ones. There’s nothing lower than “faking nature”.. it loses “the magic”. I call it: LIFE!

    2. At “the highest level”: Judge Barrett just refused to do the job she “applied for”.

      She has REFUSED to “interpret The Law AND/OR The Constitution of The United States”!

      An “interesting strategy”!

      I wonder what she does for “an Encore”?

      Pulls out a lighter and crack-pipe. Takes “a quick toke” before jumping the barrier to “dance a jig” on the chairman’s desk swirling his gavel in the air as she “giyrates her junk”, maybe?🤔

      😂

    3. *Shoulda been: “…gyrates her junk in The Chairman’s face!”.

      Author’s note: given how 2020 is “diddling”, I’m not going to “rule it out”!😜👍

      😂

  6. Wow! I am voting and praying to God we did rid of these puppets for tRump. They are more dangerous than their Puppet Master!

  7. It will do nothing, she has been chosen to overturn Roe v Wade and repeal the ACA. She will do it, make no mistake.

    1. That’s not the worst of it, either. They want to destroy the role of the people in justice and in protecting their world.

    2. @James Elliott If you hope for it, you’re endorsing corruption and the destruction of the American people’s place in the constitution. It won’t be “we the people” any more. Your role will be to slave for millionaires to become ever richer while you lose your rights, your safeguards and even your voting power, thanks to gerrymandering. Didn’t you hear what Senator Whitehouse had to say?

  8. Let us VOTE for BIDEN/HARRIS in GREAT NUMBERS so there is NO QUESTION as
    to who is the clear WINNER! We have a chance to save our DEMOCRACY!
    Let’s DO IT!

  9. Republicans simply don’t care about history, honor, legacy or hypocrisy.

    I don’t trust anyone who believes that the planet is only 6000 years old.

    1. Being 4.5 billion years off is still closer to correct than anyone who says socialism is a good idea. Move to Venezuela and be a starving slave down there. Stupid.

    2. @Ellen Peba lmao “Hey, I have trouble wrapping my head around complex science so I guess this ancient game of madlibs made by goatherders who didn’t know where the sun went at night will do! It’s gotta have all the answers in it!” How childish.

  10. Donald Trump and his administrations are cheaters liars and they’ll do anything to stay in power so they don’t wind up in jail like they’re going to

  11. America knows this hearing is a Republican sham !!! GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE A STRAIGHT BLUE TICKET IN NUMBERS TO BIG TO RIG !

    1. I will have All my friends ,who voted early, spread the word! VOTE Too Big to Rig and TOO REAL TO STEAL!!. We are Voting the Trumpvirus out and there is Nothing anyone can do about it. We are Voting too Big to Rig and burying the Trumpvirus under all those Blue Ballots. Vote!! Blue down the board. Biden/Harris 2020

    2. @Dawn Sandra Hehehehehe, Okey doke. Do you know Jesus, dawn? Son of God and God Himself. Communist-Democrats LOVE abortion, but our Creator God Hates abortion.

  12. GOP NOT the.party of President Lincoln
    Now just a bunch selfish 😒 millionaires
    We need to clean out these self serving
    useless characters

    1. Judith Benoit The ‘Democratic-Republican Party’ of the 1850s and 1860s diverged and actually became the current day Democratic Party. In terms of humanity and compassion and policies, Lincoln and his administration were actually in-line with the current Democratic stance.

    1. @George Thompson WORD!! Yes George- Put all these republican traitors and criminals in jail alongside their cult leader trump!

    2. @Ellen Peba
      If there is one truth that is absolute!
      It is that all of the repuglikkkans, tRump and his supporters have a collective IQ of a dead garden SNAIL and the morals of a slime ball!

    1. Dark ages, burning times revisited, only white will be allowed to vote, old Testament law, theocracy! RETHUGLICAN ISIS! F all that!

  13. There is a new disinfectant called VOTE. It is specifically designed to remove contagious and deadly ORANGE viruses…It is most effective if used by November 3, 2020.

    1. @cynthia van rens I already heard booker say trump hasn’t denounced white supremacy when he’s done so over 5 times.. no one really listens to the liberal left/socialist/communist/racists/fascist say anymore…it’s all propaganda to fit into their unworkable narrative they make up. How’s that Russian collusion going. Back fired huh? Useful idiots…
